2024 Ford Escape Plug in Hybrid PHEV Review

[@bmctavvy1]

Thank you for the detailed review! I just put deposit on a 2024 escape, and this review puts my mind at ease i made the right choice.

@bmctavvy1 it really is a decent car. They use a much better transmission design based on the Toyota hybrid transmission, and it's basically bulletproof.

Did you not return your Fusion Energi ? I have the same, I love it, but they offered 30.5k and I bought it 4 yrs ago at 45k (CAD). It’s a good deal. Getting this Ford Escape as a replacement but keeping the cash Ford paid for my car in savings and bringing that Ford Escape to the same payment plans I had with the fusion. Which is nice also.

My mother has the Fusion Energi and my brother has the Cmax Energi. It's true, they both were offered as much as they paid for trade in but they're just so good 👍. So they kept them.

The lack of AWD is a deal killer.

100% agree. I have the same gripe with our Kona EV. Toyota made a small 7hp induction motor for the rear of the Prius. Why can't we use this technology for Awd in this Escape and the Kona Electric?

@@livewirereview You present very well you should be on tv.

Noisy, just like my Kona

I will admit that, yes. The interior volume is on the loud side. Single pane windows and less door sealing than expected.
